Guardians Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Drax and Groot all appear in the trailer, fighting against the forces of Ronan the Accuser and his Kree soldiers. After a harrowing chase, the ragtag team of adventurers are forced to land at a deep space outpost called Knowhere, described by Ronan as “The crossroads of time and space.” A massive battle ensues, and viewers are treated to demonstrations of the Guardians’ various abilities. Star-Lord leaps high in the air with his jump-jets to blast enemies from above while Gamora nimbly moves between opponents, slashing each with her sword as she goes. Groot deals massive damage with a swipe of his mighty limb arm and Drax smashes into the ground in the middle of a pack of baddies, popping them all up. And Rocket? Rocket has very big guns. Very big.

An interesting tidbit is revealed at the very beginning when Gamora talks about the ships that are following them. She refers to Ronan’s “Necrocraft,” which is apparently the name of the ships that make up Ronan’s fleet.
